O4 the city
is an initiative by churches in Cardiff that has a two-fold
purpose. First it's to celebrate the centenary of the 1904
Welsh Revival. 2004 will be a time to stop and thank God for
what he has done in the past. To thank Him for the way that
He not only touched thousands of lives but also transformed
communities. We also want to celebrate with people from around
the world who look to the Welsh Revival as the foundation
from which God touched their country.
Second, we want to use this opportunity to demonstrate
that the God of the revival of 1904 is still the same God
today We want to use this celebration as a springboard to
proclaim and demonstrate the love of God to the people of
Cardiff. This is a rare opportunity where we can use an event
that had major spiritual and social impact in Wales and say
God is still into transforming and changing communities.
We want to invite churches in Cardiff to come
together and be a large visible presence of Jesus in the city.
Working together we can make a difference to our city. There
are two major aspects to this initiative. The first is through
a programme of events and activities spread over 18 months,
beginning with prayer meetings in September 2003. The second
will be through many individual churches working in their
communities.
